Babe was abandoned along with her two pups Bambi and Barbi, and was taken to the OC shelter. Babe weighs 28.5#, she is 3 yrs. old. Babe automatically goes to her doggy door as soon as she is released from her crate, and then upon being let back in, she automatically goes to her crate. She is fairly calm for a Border Collie mix, which will make her the perfect house pet, she will be ready to snuggle on those cold winter nights. She arrives on Dec. 18 and is available after her health exam on Dec. 20th. We discourage impulse Christmas puppies or dogs as we are looking for forever homes for our rescued dogs, but if this is a time where you have several weeks off and/or familiy at home and have time to acclimate a new dog in your home, then we welcome you to come meet the dogs. Please keep in mind that as we don't place "gift dogs", we need all decision-makers to be present before making a decision to place a dog with you. If you fill out the online application, it speeds the adoption process. Please bring pictures of your residence and pictures of your last dog (if applicable) so that we can get a sense of you and your family and help you make the best match for both you and the dog.
